Demolition, site work and addition to a civil project in Lakewood, Washington. Design plans call for the addition of a water / sewer project; for the demolition of a water / sewer project; and for site work for a water / sewer project.

As of August 11, 2025, this project is in the design phase. Construction bidding is expected in the summer of 2026. The Lakewood Water District (District) is seeking proposals from consultants to provide design and permitting assistance services for the addition of a new groundwater supply well to replace the District's existing Hipkins I-3 Well. The existing I-3 Well is approximately 277 feet deep and provides water from the C-Level aquifer. The I-3 Well has detections of PFAS in excess of the State Action Level and has been out of service since 2022. The replacement I-3R Well will be at the same site as the existing I-2, I-3, and I-4 Wells. The site address is 8711 Hipkins Road, Lakewood, WA. The replacement I-3R Well will be completed in the deeper E-level or G-level aquifer depending on the preliminary investigative work and field-testing results. The selected design team will be assisted by the District's hydrogeologist to investigate, design and permitting of the well drilling, design and permitting for the well building and equipment, and support during bidding and construction as required. Depending on the quality of the water, treatment systems may be required. Some groundwater wells in the District that pump water from the E- and G-level aquifers utilize ATEC filtration systems to remove iron and manganese. For information or questions about the project, contact the District's Project Manager listed below. The method of Contractor Selection has not been Determined at this time.
